A: After having been talking for a
couple of days I invited her to my
friend’s birthday celebration. We
went to a lounge, danced, talked
and had a great time. After that
night I realized she was the one.
When did you know you
were in love?
F: I realized I was in love after our
first fight. I missed him so much...
his smile, his laughter and jokes,
everything about him.
A: In one occasion that we were
upset with each other and didn’t
talk for couple of days. I felt I had
to do something to get her back
because I needed her in my life.
How long did you date
before you got married?
A year and seven months.
Why Killian Palms Country Club?
When we first started looking for a venue, we knew
for sure we did not want a hotel because we did
not want tourist walking around in bathing suits.
We then decided it would be a country club and we
first visited Killian Palms Country Club. As we
drove in, we already like it. We loved the landscaping
and the privacy it offered. When we walked through
the lobby area it looked elegant, which was one of
my main wishes. And then we happened to see the
ballroom on a day there was a wedding taking place.
When the doors opened and we saw the ballroom
we knew that was our place. It was exactly as we
had envisioned our wedding: the lighting, the
linens, the Chiavari chairs and the overall elegance.
After that, everything else they showed us was just
magical and perfect. The Gazebo was romantic, the
cocktail area was big and the staff was friendly and
knowledgeable. They also included many vendors
in their packages, so it made our job easier. We are
very happy we chose Killian Palms Country Club
because they made our special day unforgettable.
Fabiola Barinas & Alan Rodriguez
January 19, 2013
Where and how did you meet?
Fabiola & Alan’s
Fabiola & Alan: We are actors and
we went to a casting at the school we
studied. Alan was still waiting his
turn when I walked in. After brief eye
contact we smiled at each other and he
approach to me to make conversation.
What was your first impression
of him/her?
F: Her: When I saw him I fell in love
with his eyes and the way they looked
at me. I loved the how he conducted
himself and his personality.
20
GS1302_grand_salon_mag_Ed3_LO8.indd 23-24
A: When I first saw her I thought she
was beautiful. And from seeing her
interact with other people, I noticed
her great personality. When I got close
to talk to her, I fell for her stunning
eyes and beautiful smile.
What happened on the your
first date?
F: Three days after we met he invited
me out to a birthday party. We danced
all night had so much fun! In a moment
I was off guard, and without saying
a word, he kissed me. It was totally
unexpected —but I liked it!

The Proposal
My mom, little sister and niece were in town visiting me. He suggested
we had dinner with my family and closest friends in one of our favorite
restaurants. We had a great dinner, and when it was time for dessert, the
waiter brought to our table a beautiful bouquet. That’s when I saw him get
down on his knee. It was such an emotional moment. I realized that he had
planned it so well to make it special — waited for my family to be in town,
invited our friend and made sure they were all there to witness this moment.
The funny thing is that I was so nervous when he put the ring on, that I
couldn’t stop laughing, started kissing him immediately, and forgot to say
“Yes!” It was honestly one of the happiest days of my life.
What is the one thing you will never forget about your
Wedding Day?
F: The moment I walked down the aisle with my mother and I saw him
waiting for me with tears in his eyes.
A: When she walked in the church and when we exchanged vows.

Signature Book:
The signature book can be
made out of wood and like
a scrapbook, with photos
from the engagement
session. The table can be
decorated with old poem
books and delicate flowers.
It’s something fun the
couple can enjoy doing
together and your family and
friends can’t get enough of.

What better place to have a Country-Style Wedding than
South Florida! With it’s all-year-round perfect weather,
beautiful gardens and glitzing sun it’s the ideal backdrop
for your picture-perfect outdoor wedding.
Venue: Choose a venue
that has a Gazebo and
lots of green areas for your
ceremony and cocktail area.
The reception is best indoors
so your guests are more
comfortable during dinner
and dancing.
Vendors: Most important
when choosing your florist,
venue, coordinator, and
photographer make sure they
are able to understand your
theme and ideas so it reflects on
all decors and in the final product
– your wedding album.
